How many songs can I download?
There is a limit of three songs per week that can be downloaded with your Avondale Public Library account. Every Sunday at 12:00 a.m. EST (10:00 p.m. MST), downloads will be set back to zero for that week. |
Why is there a limit on the number of downloads?
The limit is set so that a maximum number of patrons may have equal access to the songs in the Sony catalog. |
How do I download a song using Freegal?
Once you have selected the song you want from Freegal's menu, click the "Download Now" link next to your chosen song. At the prompt, select Save and choose where you want to save the song.
